March 15:修心不是修对象

When we consciously or unconsciously begin to judge something as good or bad as an experience, we are going to try to manipulate it. But in nature, things are just nature, they are what they are. They are neither good nor bad, they are just what they are. When practicing, three of the main bugbears [in this regard] are: 1) Sounds, 2) Thinking Mind, and 3) Pain.

当我们开始有意或无意地评价某物是好经验还是坏经验时，我们是在尝试去操纵它。实际上，事物仅仅是自然现象，它们有各自的本性。它们既不好也不坏，只是展现了该有的样子。禅修时，有3件烦心事（鉴于此种情况）：1声响，2念头，3疼痛。

个人注解：声响，念头，疼痛都不是问题，它们的出现消失有各自的因缘。禅修是修心，观察任何对象时心的品质如何？
